    The, Ah Papa card is poking fun at older men that favour very young girls.... robbing the cradle jokes.

      That is interesting thought. I imagined that it has to do with unplaned, extramarital pregnancies.

      That's funny! I was thinking daddy's girl. Even though she's grown up, she's still his little girl. I think your interpretation makes more sense!

      I hope they continue, were there Victorian birthday cards, other holidays, some that might not be celebrated as much today?

    What a wonderful video! I’m a papercrafter myself so I found this so interesting. So many of the cards are so delicate it’s a miracle they survived.

    I wonder if the "Snake in the Grass" valentine had a piece of red cellophane with it? It looks double printed much like the disappearing pictures we played with in our 1950's magic kits.

      they are also known as kirigami. You can buy dies that cut them out (Anna Griffin sells some)

    I wonder - does the collection have any cards that reference the Norfolk folklore figure Jack Valentine?

    • @vamuseum
      @vamuseum  Год назад +2

      Unfortunately not. Although we do have this portrait of an Irish faith healer from 1666 called Valentine Greatrakes, nicknamed 'The Stroker'(!), as he was "famous for curing several diseases and distempers by the stroke of his hand only" collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O566720/valentine-greatrakes-the-stroker-print-faithorne-william/
